If you are searching for property to buy in New Cross you may be surprised by the wealth of its history. Poet, Robert Browning, lived in New Cross Road in the 1840s and Music Hall star, Marie Lloyd, lived in Lewisham Way. Perhaps Sir Barnes Wallis bounced a ball around the playground when he attended school in New Cross? More recently, the cockney rebel himself, Steve Harley, grew up in Fairlawn Mansions, and Harry Potter fans may be interested to know that 'Sirius Black' - aka Gary Oldman - was born and raised in New Cross. Despite its illustrious connections, property for sale in New Cross is modestly priced. Situated at the northern tip of the London Borough of Lewisham, and covered by postcode SE14, there are flats in New Cross available for under £100,000. But, if you have deeper pockets, property in New Cross can go for up to £750,000 for substantial Victorian townhouses with seven bedrooms, four bathrooms and three reception rooms. However, most Victorian houses in New Cross, offering four, five or six bedrooms go for around £400,000 to £450,000.
Amenities for New Cross properties
Property for sale in New Cross reflects its Victorian history even though much of the area was bombed in World War II including the Woolworth's store in 1944. New Cross is home to Goldsmith's College, which is part of the University of London. Haberdashers' Aske's Hatcham College on New Cross Road was formerly a grammar school, then a comprehensive but now has academy status specialising in music. Goldsmiths Tavern used to hold alternative cabaret and was the testing ground for new groups, but pop wanabes now migrate to the Montagu Arms where the music is cool and live, unlike the moose's head stuck on the wall!
